Let 𝓐(ℝ) and 𝓔(ℝ) denote respectively the ring of analytic and real entire functions in one variable. It is shown that if 𝔪 is a maximal ideal of 𝓐(ℝ), then 𝓐(ℝ)/𝔪 is isomorphic either to the reals or a real closed field that is an η₁-set, while if 𝔪 is a maximal ideal of 𝓔(ℝ), then 𝓔(ℝ)/𝔪 is isomorphic to one of the latter two fields or to the field of complex numbers. Moreover, we study the residue class rings of prime ideals of these rings and their Krull dimensions. Use is made of...
